Chapter 1247 The Gradually Tilt of the War
“Success!”
Looking at the battle line that fell into chaos again, Rahul smiled knowingly.
Although he didn't know why the previous war turned out like that, that didn't matter. What mattered was that he had now turned the situation back to the rhythm he wanted.
He was absolutely sure that he could suppress the chaos on the front line, so the most correct way now was to use a strong attack to drag the Han Dynasty into a meat grinder that could not be carried out.
Since the intention was to use the quagmire of war to drag the Han Dynasty to death, this method naturally became the best choice.
The defense of the spears is indeed very poor, and most of them can be killed by a wave of arrows. However, facing the spearmen who are crushing like a torrent, it is hard to say whether any elite troops can easily stop them.
Coupled with the effect of the Kushan Divine Guards' mental stamp of not fearing death at all, the impact still came as a continuous wave, even if the cost was the lives of these spearmen.
Even if the shield guard faces this kind of torrent, he can only hold it back and block it with his strong defense. As for not retreating a single step, this is really not something that can be done just by wanting to.
No matter how adaptable the shield guard is, no matter how much it can withstand force, it still cannot withstand a forest of guns consisting of one gun, three guns, ten guns, or even dozens of guns.
It's not that the shield and armor can't withstand it, but that the strength can't withstand it. The shield can withstand it, but people can't. This is a very realistic situation.
The shield guards do have great power. If three or five spearmen use their spears to point at their shields, the shield guards can fight back. However, if more than a dozen spears are placed on the shields at the same time, the force the shield guards have to bear is almost fatal.
Those who reacted quickly could dissipate the force by retreating, but those who reacted slowly were knocked over and directly dragged into the Kushan defense line by the Kushan Divine Guards, where they were beaten to death.
The double-talented shield guard's defense has not yet reached the level where it can be kicked in the circle without any serious consequences.
Rahul is not some great saint, he can be considered a ruthless devil in the chaos camp.
The strategy used now is to completely treat the soldiers as numbers to be consumed. The faint divinity they reveal is enough to scare anyone.
Because this is not just paper talk, nor is it a light-hearted discussion of war sitting in the rear, but a cold decision-making on the battlefield.
This method relies on the power of numbers and is the best way to unleash combat effectiveness when there are not enough elite legions to lead .
If it were a normal Kushan soldier, even if the effect could be achieved, it would never be this effective, because human beings have emotions, and emotions are bound to be affected by death, and everyone's heart will be more or less shaken by fear.
But the Kushan Divine Guards did not have that. They were like the emotionless NPCs in a video game. Not to mention a desperate charge, even if there were mountains of swords and seas of fire before them, they would immediately act at the command.
This resulted in Rahul being able to use the Kushan Divine Guards very easily, and tens of thousands of them launched a mad charge.
As spears were shooting, stones were flying, and tung oil jars were burning in the sky, the power exerted by this torrent of spearmen was enough to scare away gods and ghosts.
After all, this torrent-like forest of guns is not afraid of life or death. With cover on the left and right, there is no possibility of being cut off by others, so the front is perfect.
Facing this kind of soldiers, dodging and defending will only lead to death. It is impossible for humans with only two hands to block more than a dozen spears that are nearly three meters long. Relying solely on defense will only lead to death.
So Guan Yu didn’t even consider defense and dodging. If you launch a strong attack, then I will also launch a strong attack.
However, it is impossible for Guan Yu to use Rahul's indifferent attack method. After all, the soldiers of the Han army are flesh and blood. Even if it is said that kindness is not good for the army, it definitely does not mean that he should consume the soldiers unscrupulously.
Every soldier of the Han Dynasty is precious currency of the Han Empire, and Guan Yu must use every one of them to the best of his ability.
"Kill!" Guan Yu looked at the torrent of spearmen coming over from the opposite side. Facing the torrent that could not be completely wiped out by the rain of arrows in a short time, he calmly brought down his Green Dragon Crescent Blade.
The reason why chariots withdrew from the stage of history was not because of their flawed frontal capabilities. On the contrary, if a frontal charge could defeat the current torrent of spearmen, then only the group charge of chariots would be left.
There is only one reason why chariots are eliminated from the stage of history in this era, and that is to mobilize a large army to attack.
Just like tanks become powerless in the face of aircraft and missiles, no matter how powerful the momentum of a frontal charge is, it is far less destructive than the destructive power brought by a legion attack.
If you understand what your tactics are, then it will be easy to deal with it. The swordsman and Guan Yu's minds are united. At the moment when Guan Yu drops his Green Dragon Crescent Blade, his will is directly directed out, and thousands of swords are chopped out along with Guan Yu's strikes.
The two large torrents collided directly with each other, and Rahul's seemingly unstoppable spear torrent instantly knocked people and horses off their feet.
Rahul couldn't help but frowned when he saw Guan Yu leading the school knifemen to chop up the frontal torrent. He felt that it was not what he thought.
And the next second, Rahul also launched a legion attack. The torrent of spearmen was always just a bait. Rahul's target was Guan Yu. Guan Yu was stuck in the center of the army and was always a threat to his safety, so he wanted to pull out Guan Yu first.
He calculated very accurately, but when he saw that the hundreds of legion attacks launched by his side were evaporated in mid-air by the hundreds of sword lights chopped out by Guan Yu, he became a little uneasy.
He noticed something was wrong from Guan Yu’s first response, and when Guan Yu launched the second attack, he exclaimed in surprise.
"How could this be? Has his achievement in mobilizing willpower completely surpassed mine? What kind of monstrous place is the Han Dynasty that can produce such monsters continuously?"
Rahul was not surprised that Guan Yu could destroy the torrent of spearmen, so he prepared for the second wave of legion attack. However, he was blocked by the opponent in this way. He thought he could take away a group anyway.
You know, legion attacks are useful, but they are rarely used on the battlefield because they require the mobilization of clouds.
Not to mention the difficulty, just after mobilizing the cloud gas to attack, the cloud gas on one's side will become thinner and will be suppressed by the opponent's cloud gas, which will in turn bring about a large-scale reverse power suppression. This is enough to make every officer using the legion attack be cautious.
It is also based on this principle that Rahul hopes to mobilize the cloud energy and use the legion attack to directly kill Guan Yu during the vacuum period after Guan Yu drew the cloud energy.
This is also one of the ways for the commander of a large army to deal with a single legion. If the number of troops mobilized is large enough and the opportunity seized is accurate enough, it may even be possible to take out the Miracle Legion in one shot.
Although the price of doing so might be that the entire army would be completely suppressed, or even the entire army would be disintegrated, it was ultimately a means to deal with the Legion of Miracles.
However, the way Guan Yu responded greatly refreshed Rahul's imagination. It was not that he did not understand it, but it was precisely because he understood it that Rahul was shocked.
This is because Guan Yu did not draw the cloud energy from a certain place, but drew the cloud energy evenly throughout the entire army, and even drew the cloud energy mainly from the rear. In this way, it would not affect the battle in the front, nor would it fail to achieve the goal due to too little power.
The second sword light that offset the legion's attack showed Guan Yu's delicate micro-control of his will to the fullest. Rahul asked himself if he could do it, but Guan Yu did it.
This gap made Rahul feel frustrated. There were more and more Han Dynasty commanders who surpassed him. Even Guan Yu, whom he had previously ignored, had now surpassed him. This was .
Rahul took a deep breath. Although he failed to take Guan Yu away and discovered the gap between himself and Guan Yu, he was still in command and he still had to fight on this battlefield, so he had to adjust his mentality.
As he slowly exhaled a breath of foul air, Rahul began to mobilize the reserve army he had prepared.
Guan Yu's threat was too serious, so he had to separate Guan Yu from the army first. Only in this way could he concentrate more on command.
Guan Yu's outward aura was like a sharp knife against his throat. Although Rahul knew that Guan Yu could not stab his throat directly, he would still be affected.
The troops mobilized by Rahul were the few Kushan troops that could truly crush the shield guards, Arvind's personal guard corps. The two military soul corps of Kushan, one was the Imperial Scepter, and the other was Arvind's personal guard corps.
The Kushans had no way of allowing Arvind's personal guards to devote all their military strength to training new recruits. After all, the threat from the north was looming. Without Arvind's personal guards, even the Imperial Scepter would find it difficult to stop the powerful attacks of the Divine Iron Cavalry and other legions.
However, the Kushans, relying on the power of squeezing the imperial will, still created two legions similar to Arvind's. One followed Arvind, and the other was sent to Rahul.
"Pasak, you rush over with your spiral spearmen and attack Guan Yu's left wing. If Guan Yu's main force attacks the center, you kill his tail. If Guan Yu's main force does not move, you attack back to stop your shield guards and suppress them from the flank!"
After Rahul made up his mind, he immediately ordered his royal guards to clear the way, and then turned to look at Arvind's personal guard commander.
No matter from which angle, Arvind's personal guards are all professional counterparts. It is best to target shield soldiers with this kind of force infiltration and attack.
Although Rahul originally planned to let Arvind's personal guards rob and kill Guan Yu in the central camp, but in the current situation, Guan Yu did not take any action, which made him the one who got anxious. If this continued, the overall situation would collapse, and the enemy might not even need to move, and the other legions would be able to kill him.
"Dudian, follow Pathak and crush those shield guards. Is there any problem?" Rahul asked Dudian, the former captain under Arvind.
"As you wish!" Dudian bowed slowly. He respected Rahul very much. He was the only officer in Nangui who was recognized by them.
After accepting the new army, he was sent under Rahul, but he has not been able to achieve any success so far, which makes him very uncomfortable. But now it is finally his turn to bring glory to Arvind.
To be honest, their original name should be Xihou Tiezu, which can be regarded as a legion with very unique characteristics of the Dayuezhi.
It was also a legion inherited by the Dayuezhi that was preparing for war and planning to take revenge on the Xiongnu. However, they did not have such an opportunity, and their strength was not enough. After all, it was an infantry legion of a nomadic people and could not be that strong.
It was not until Arvind came into being that the legion was given new life and vigor. Finally, at the moment when the imperial will was born, it inherited the will of the Five Marquis of Dayuezhi and became the Legion of Military Soul.
The legion led by Dudian is a mixture of miracle soldiers. This is also the biggest advantage of the Military Soul Legion. It can forcibly elevate soldiers with double talents to the level of the Royal Guards, or even to pseudo-three talents.
Although Guan Yu didn't quite understand Rahul's tactics, when facing the spiral lancers, he naturally mobilized the shield guards to intercept them, because the shield guards were extremely effective in restraining the spiral lancers, and only lancers with three talents or above could easily penetrate the shield guards' defenses.
With dual talents, even the spiral lancers of the Royal Guards were perfectly restrained by the Shield Guards. Because of the defense problem, the long-range legion in the rear could even indiscriminately rain arrows and kill all the spiral lancers.
Although Guan Yu was confused, he was soon attracted by Rahul's other arrangements on the battlefield, and started a game with Rahul in other places on the battlefield.
After Rahul stopped worrying about Zhang Ren's problem, in fact, many places on the battlefield began to show a situation of interlocking teeth. Although Guan Yu had the upper hand in most places, Rahul also had the advantage in many places.
The battle lines of both sides were like tug-of-war, with one side going back and forth and the other side might cut off a piece of the defense line if you were not careful, and then surround and strangle that part of the soldiers. If you didn't react in time, even rescue wouldn't come.
Even with Guan Yu's will, maintaining the will connection and will coverage for a long time, and then playing games with Rahul, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
In a trance, any mistake would lead to losses, so Guan Yu did not dare to be careless at all. He steadily expanded the advantages at hand, secretly accumulating strength, waiting for the moment to make an earth-shattering move.
"From now on, it's up to you!" After being completely blocked by the shield guards, Pasak turned around and said to Dudian behind him.
"We will not bring disgrace upon the general's reputation!"
"For General Arvind!" Dudian roared.
"For General Arvind!" The fanatical soldiers responded to Dudian's call.
After saying that, Dudian led five thousand of Arvind's guards and charged towards the shield guards.
